But it's unclear how many people that may be. We just used it four weeks ago at a big family breakfast. We put it in some muffins. It's concerning. We hope we don't all have hepatitis. Reporter: Hepatitis a is a highly contagious liver infection. It can be deadly, yes. But not for everybody. Once the virus has infected you, it's impossible to treat and get rid of. On a quick basis. It goes away over time. Reporter: Hepatitis a often finds its way into the food supply through infected food handlers who don't take proper precautions, such as washing their hands. Federal officials are trying to find the source of the contamination. But the berry mix contained produce from farms here in the u.S., Argentina, chile and turkey. So, the search could take a while. A big scramble this morning. Very scary. Susan, great to have you on the broadcast. And welcome to abc news.
